Early lifeEdit

Chopra, the elder son of late filmmaker Yash Chopra and Pamela Chopra, was born on 21 May 1971.<ref name="Befikre">Aditya Chopra Announces New Film on Yash Chopras Birth Anniversary – NDTV Movies. Movies.ndtv.com (26 September 2015). Retrieved on 21 November 2015.</ref><ref name="Morcom2007">Template:Cite book</ref> His only sibling is actor and producer, Uday Chopra. He is the nephew of film producers B.R. Chopra and Yash Johar, and the cousin of filmmakers Karan Johar and Ravi Chopra. He completed his secondary education at Bombay Scottish School, earning his Indian Certificate of Secondary Education." He graduated from Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics, along with Anil Thadani, Karan Johar and Abhishek Kapoor.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Filmmaking careerEdit

Chopra started his film-making career at the age of 18 as an assistant director, working with his father on films such as Chandni (1989), Lamhe (1991) and Darr (1993). He also wrote his first screenplays for his father's Parampara (1992) and his mother's independently produced film Aaina (1993), which was the only film not directed by his father that he was an assistant director on.

1995: Directorial debut and successEdit

Chopra, after gaining a respectable amount of experience, started independently at the age of 23 with the all-time blockbuster romantic comedy-drama Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995), with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, for which he was the director and writer. The film was scripted by Chopra and produced by his father Yash Chopra, under the YRF banner. Chopra started work on the script of the film in 1990, at the age of 19, and gradually spent time making about five drafts of the film's original script. Chopra even managed to convince his brother Uday Chopra and Karan Johar, both aspiring filmmakers, to enter the film industry as assistant directors with the film. Chopra once said that the presence of his relatives during the making of the film worked as a huge emotional support. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge eventually went on to become one of the biggest hits of all time<ref name=boialltime>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and the Filmfare Award for Best Film, in addition to the Filmfare Award for Best Director for Chopra.<ref name="Profile">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

1996–2002: Extensive work in Yash Raj FilmsEdit

Chopra eventually went on to write the dialogues and the story of his father's 1997 musical romance Dil To Pagal Hai, (which won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment), also made under YRF. His next film as a director was the musical romantic drama Mohabbatein (2000) starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, and also launched his brother Uday Chopra into the film industry. The film was also written and co-produced by Chopra and emerged as the highest-grossing film of the year, earning Chopra his second nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Director. The next film under the banner was the romantic comedy Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002), which released in June 2002, starring his brother Uday alongside Tulip Joshi, Bipasha Basu and Jimmy Sheirgill. The film did moderately well at the box office.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The studio's final release that year was the romantic drama Saathiya, a remake of the Tamil film Alaipayuthey, which starred Vivek Oberoi opposite Rani Mukerji. The film proved to be a major hit at the box office.

2004: Breakthrough in productionEdit

In 2004, Chopra produced the romantic comedy Hum Tum, the action thriller Dhoom and the epic love saga Veer-Zaara (for which he was also the screenwriter) under the YRF banner. All three films went on to become major critical and commercial successes, earning more than Template:INRConvert<ref name="auto1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> (unadjusted for inflation) in the worldwide market. The films became the sixth, third and highest-grossing Indian films of 2004. The company won most of the Indian film awards in the year, with Veer-Zaara also winning the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.

Chopra then produced and wrote several other highly critically and commercial successful films over the years, namely Bunty Aur Babli, Salaam Namaste, Fanaa, Dhoom 2 and Chak De India (which also won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment).

Chopra also made his third film as a director in 2008 with the romantic comedy Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring Shahrukh Khan and launching newcomer Anushka Sharma. The film received mixed reviews upon release, but emerged as one of the highest-grossing films for Khan and YRF at that time, earning Template:INRConvert in the worldwide market.<ref name="boxofficeindia.com">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film earned Chopra his third nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Director.

YRF launched a number of budding screenwriters and directors under their banner throughout these years. Directors and screenwriters such as Karan Johar (his Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was co-produced and released by Yash Raj Film Distributors), Kunal Kohli, Kabir Khan, Sanjay Gadhvi, Jaideep Sahni, Siddharth Anand, Shimit Amin, Habib Faisal, Shaad Ali, Maneesh Sharma and Vijay Acharya debuted under YRF and have gone on to become independent entities in films. The company also produced films for filmmakers such as Anil Mehta and Pradeep Sarkar under their banner. The company was eventually ranked at Number 1 (among the most successful film production companies in India) in a survey conducted by Filmfare and at number 27 (among the most successful film production companies in the world) in a survey by The Hollywood Reporter, both under the vice-chairmanship of Chopra.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Return to film direction: Befikre (2016)Edit

In September 2015, YRF announced Chopra's directorial comeback with the romantic comedy Befikre, scheduled for a December 2016 release.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In October 2015, it was announced that Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor were cast in the lead roles.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In December 2015, YRF announced that the music of the film will be produced by Vishal–Shekhar and Jaideep Sahni, both of whom would return to collaborate with YRF after roughly 9 years.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The film marked Chopra's directorial comeback 8 years after Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A theatrical trailer of the film was released at the Eiffel Tower and across social media platforms in the month of October.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The film was budgeted at Template:INRConvert (including print and advertising costs) and released across 2900 screens worldwide on 9 December 2016.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> It opened to widespread negative reviews across platforms and faced heavy losses to its business because of the currency demonetisation implied by the Government of India a few days prior to its release.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The film managed to gross Template:INRConvert after a two-week theatrical run at the global box office, failing to manage break-even business for YRF.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Career as studio executiveEdit

Template:See also

In 2004, Chopra started producing under the YRF banner. He produced Hum Tum, Dhoom and Veer-Zaara (for which he was also the screenwriter), all three films went on to become critical and commercial blockbusters, earning more than Template:INRConvert<ref name="auto1"/> (unadjusted for inflation) in the worldwide market. The films became the sixth, third and highest-grossing Indian films of 2004. The company won most of the Indian film awards in the year, with Veer-Zaara also winning the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.

The company saw an all-time low, with several of their high-budgeted films not doing well at the box office, despite favourable critical reviews and the company thereby suffering losses amounting to millions from 2007 to 2010. The films broke YRF's perfect success ratio and were oddly released one after another. Some of the most unsuccessful films produced under the banner were Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Tashan, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Roadside Romeo, and Pyaar Impossible. Chopra then took over as the Vice Chairman of Yash Raj Films in 2010, soon after the release of the film Badmaash Company under the same banner.<ref name="Profile"/>

Chopra has produced several commercially viable projects including off-beat content not necessarily fitting into the realm of "masala films". Chopra is the first to move towards the film studio model through independent projects helmed by talent under his banner.<ref name="Yash Raj Films launches Independent producers">Template:Cite news</ref> Major post-production work of the company is completed at YRF Studios (co-founded by his ex-wife Payal Khanna), where Chopra is chief executive.<ref name="YRF Studios">YRF Studios.

Legal issues and controversiesEdit

GhajiniEdit

Photographers of the Indian media caught a glimpse of the extremely-reclusive Chopra on 27 December 2008. Chopra's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Aamir Khan's Ghajini were the two big Indian releases of the year 2008 and were pitted against each other by the press; Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi was to release on Diwali and Ghajini was to release on Christmas, with a gap of a few weeks between them. Chopra was present at a private screening of Ghajini that was held by Khan, for members of the film industry. Chopra was seen leaving through the back entrance of the theatre premise around 2 am, just before the end credits of the film. On spotting multiple journalists outside the venue, he reportedly panicked and desperately sprinted towards his car to avoid being photographed. Chopra pulled down the sun visor of his car and drove away.

Acquisition by Walt DisneyEdit

The Walt Disney Company entered India in 2007 through a co-production agreement (Ta Ra Rum Pum, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, and Roadside Romeo) with YRF.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="bs.2007.06.13">Template:Cite news</ref> Disney's move was seen as a bid to increase its global presence and enter Indian entertainment.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> This was followed by Warner Bros.,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Columbia Pictures,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Universal Pictures,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and 20th Century Fox,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> who made similar moves.

Post the release of the three films, Disney attempted a Template:INRConvert hostile takeover of YRF in December 2009. The offer was pushed after its acquisitions of Pixar and Marvel from the previous year. YRF however fought the offer and continued as a domestic entity, heavily aided by the Tata Sons.<ref name="SlashFilm">SlashFilm.

Records from the Registrar of Companies of the same year showed that YRF received investments from LIC of India, Catamaran Ventures, and Maruti-Udyog.

In December 2016, Disney-UTV announced a temporary closure<ref name="Disney exits India">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> of its offices. After the release of its final film in July 2017, Disney exited all film operations in India and was permanently liquidated.<ref name="UTV-Disney exits India">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="UTV Disney exit">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In January 2019, YRF reached a Template:INRConvert valuation by SEBI, thereby making it the largest Indian film production company of all time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Son of SardaarEdit

In 2012, Ajay Devgan, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Eros International together moved the Competition Commission of India against Yash Raj Films and Aditya Chopra, accusing the company of using monopolistic business practices and rampantly abusing their dominant position and clout in the Entertainment Industry of India by entering into a tie-in arrangement with 1,500 single screen film exhibitors (out of a total of 2,100) of India, that obliged them to showcase the company's Jab Tak Hai Jaan (and not Son of Sardaar) on the Diwali week of 2012 and continue its theatrical run for two weeks after the worldwide release. The trio eventually moved the Competition Appellate Tribunal on 30 October 2012 against YRF but were turned down by the bench heading the Tribunal.

Both films opened on 13 November 2012; Jab Tak Hai Jaan released on 3500 screens and Son of Sardar released on 2000 screens, in the worldwide market. However, in November 2013, the CCI dismissed the case filing as they found YRF to not be in contravention of the Competition Act of India; YRF won the case.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

RaeesEdit

Raees (2017) was a film produced by Excel Entertainment and Red Chillies Entertainment helmed by Rahul Dholakia. Principal photography of the film was completed in April 2015 and a few months were allotted to its post-production work.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A teaser/trailer of the film was released across social media platforms and attached to Bajrangi Bhaijaan on 17 July 2015 announcing it as a 5 July 2016 release; packaged and presented as an Eid project.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> However, sensing an opportunity in the same period, YRF went ahead to green-light its own Sultan, slated for release on the same day, in January 2016. Principal photography with Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma was completed in 3 months followed by post-production work being completed in May.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A teaser/trailer and other marketing material featuring both Khan and Sharma were released simultaneously starting in April across platforms and networks. The film was ready for a 5 July release and as a result, around 4230 theatre screens available in India would have been divided among the two films.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Realising a loss in business to both films, Ritesh Sidhwani and Shahrukh Khan, the producers of Raees approached Chopra to work out a settlement to ensure both projects are exhibited comfortably across centres.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Dead link</ref> However, Chopra disagreed to shift his release date stating the poor performance of Khan's prior releases (Dilwale and Fan) in the global box office.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Moreover, Chopra ensured that YRF Distributors (his film distribution leg) exhibit Sultan to more than 3100 screens (out of the total 4230), apparently abusing his dominant position and clout in the Entertainment Industry of India, an allegation that he has battled several times in the past.

Sultan eventually released on 6 July 2016, as planned by YRF, across 4310 Indian screens and 1130 screens internationally, to gross Template:INRConvert in the worldwide market<ref name="Sultan Crosses 600 Crore Worldwide">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Raees was postponed to 26 January 2017, scheduled to release alongside Kaabil on the same day.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

PaaniEdit

In November 2012, YRF green-lit their first Indian-American war drama co-production titled Paani with DreamWorks Pictures.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film was to be helmed by Shekhar Kapur and Sushant Singh Rajput was signed for the lead role in December of the same year.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Principal photography was to start in June 2013, and it was planned as a December 2015 release by both Chopra and Kapur.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A.

In February 2013, Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered the lead role to Rajput in his Shakespearean tragic romance Ram-Leela, which was scheduled to be shot throughout the year 2013.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Chopra, however, advised Rajput to turn down the role to focus solely on Paani and led Bhansali to sign Ranveer Singh (through YRF Talent) instead.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In November 2013, Chopra shelved Paani stating affordability issues faced by YRF during pre-production work.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ram-Leela meanwhile opened to overwhelming critical and box office success in the same period with both Bhansali and Singh being awarded extensively for their work.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Rajput was later signed for another independent YRF projects; Detective Byomkesh Bakshy scheduled to release in April 2015.

PathaanEdit

On 12 December 2022, YRF released a song from the fourth project of its spy universe titled "Besharam Rang" across all media platforms. Picturised on Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan in the outskirts of Benicàssim, the song was written by Vishal–Shekhar and Kumaar. Choreography and direction was by Vaibhavi Merchant.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A few days after release of the song, it started gaining criticism among right-wing ideologists for its lyrics, Padukone's appearance in a saffron bikini, and Khan's appearance in green trousers. A boycott call on Twitter by the name "#BoycottPathaan"<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> began to trend with a section of users calling the visuals "vulgar" and "infuriating".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Chopra wrote to the Office of the Prime Minister explaining this issue a week before the release of the film. On 18 January 2023, the Prime Minister of India sent out a warning to the workers of all national political parties to "strictly refrain from making comments on films".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was the first-ever public statement strategically released by the PMO<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> to safeguard the release of a film in India. The Ministry for Information and Broadcasting further cautioned political leaders and workers against making remarks on important films.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Followingly, the state governments of Gujarat,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Uttar Pradesh,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Madhya Pradesh,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Assam<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> assured YRF protection for its viewers and assurance that protestors will be strictly prosecuted.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On 24 January 2023, a day before the release of the film, the Vishva Hindu Parishad released a statement to its members that they were "satisfied" with the certification of the film and assured that all protests will be ceased.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

At the time of the statement, Pathaan was slated to be screened in 5500+ movie theatres in India<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and 2500+ movie theatres in more than 100 countries internationally<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> thereby making it the most widely released Indian film.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After two days of its release, 25 additional screens were added after the Chief Justice of Delhi High Court directed Chopra to add an exclusive version of the film for people with disabilities.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 3 March 2023, Pathaan emerged as the third highest grossing Hindi film of all time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

He was married to Payal Khanna until their divorce in 2009. The couple had no children. On 21 April 2014, he married actress Rani Mukerji in a private ceremony in Italy.<ref name="bp">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In December 2015, Rani gave birth to their daughter Adira Chopra.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
